using T5 reflector for royal blue LED.

southnash · 01/05/2011, 06:42 PM

What's your source for the LED's & power supply? Looking VERY nice!!

GUILLO1 · 01/05/2011, 07:17 PM

did you mount the T5 reflectors on straight aluminum or is it c-channel. How is the c-channel working with the heat on your other LED fixture?

LEDs on straight aluminum --> T5 reflectors---> C-channel

C channel Aluminum 2"w x 1"h I think really good heat sink for my LED light fixtures, no need fan to cooling.

100W LED 14000K

GUILLO1 · 01/05/2011, 07:39 PM

Jae, that looks really good , with the T-5 Reflectors .

CMcNeil · 01/05/2011, 08:19 PM

for experimental.
the white LED are 60 degree. but royal blue are 120 degree and no optic lens
I think it will better with reflector

Jae and Joseph very nice build, need some up-dated pictures with blue and pictures of Josephs tank.. Would like to do build for my 65-gal. How many lights-white and blue- lights, what ratio are you using??

GlassReef · 01/11/2011, 05:55 PM

A quick question, Jae: if you electronically dim the output of the LEDs you are using, does the color temperature change?

Thanks.

josephv · 01/11/2011, 09:57 PM
